Common Mathematical Language of mathematicians: Cml
+ Cml is expressive: it has linguistic categories like proofs and theorems.
+ Cml has been refined by intensive use and is rooted in long traditions.
+ Cml is approved by most mathematicians as a communication medium.
+ Cml accommodates many branches of mathematics, and is adaptable to newones.
– Since Cml is based on natural language, it is informal and ambiguous.
– Cml is incomplete: Much is left implicit, appealing to the reader’s intuition.
– Cml is poorly organised: In a Cml text, many structural aspects are omitted.
– Cml is automation-unfriendly: A Cml text is a plain text and cannot be easilyautomated.

A Cml-text
From chapter 1, § 2 of E. Landau’s Foundations of Analysis (Landau 1930, 1951).
Theorem 6. [Commutative Law of Addition]
x + y = y + x.
Proof Fix y, and let M be the set of allx for which the assertion holds.
I) We have
y + 1 = y′,
and furthermore, by the construction inthe proof of Theorem 4,
1 + y = y′,
so that1 + y = y + 1
and 1 belongs to M.II) If x belongs to M, then
x + y = y + x,
Therefore
(x + y)′ = (y + x)′ = y + x′.
By the construction in the proof ofTheorem 4, we have
x′ + y = (x + y)′,
hence
x′ + y = y + x′,
so that x′ belongs to M. The assertion
therefore holds for all x. 2

The problem with formal logic• No logical language is an alternative to Cml
– A logical language does not have mathematico-linguistic categories, is notuniversal to all mathematicians, and is not a good communication medium.
– Logical languages make fixed choices (first versus higher order, predicativeversus impredicative, constructive versus classical, types or sets, etc.). Butdifferent parts of mathematics need different choices and there is no universalagreement as to which is the best formalism.
– A logician reformulates in logic their formalization of a mathematical-text asa formal, complete text which is structured considerably unlike the original,and is of little use to the ordinary mathematician.
– Mathematicians do not want to use formal logic and have for centuries donemathematics without it.
• So, mathematicians kept to Cml.
• We would like to find an alternative to Cml which avoids some of the featuresof the logical languages which made them unattractive to mathematicians.

What are the options for computerization?
Computers can handle mathematical text at various levels:
• Images of pages may be stored. While useful, this is not a good representationof language or knowledge.
• Typesetting systems like LaTeX, TeXmacs, can be used.
• Document representations like OpenMath, OMDoc, MathML, can be used.
• Formal logics used by theorem provers (Coq, Isabelle, HOL, Mizar, Isar, etc.)can be used.
We are gradually developing a system named Mathlang which we hope willeventually allow building a bridge between the latter 3 levels.
This talk aims at discussing the motivations rather than the details.

The issues with typesetting systems
+ A system like LaTeX, TeXmacs, provides good defaults for visual appearance,while allowing fine control when needed.
+ LaTeX and TeXmacs support commonly needed document structures, whileallowing custom structures to be created.
– Unless the mathematician is amazingly disciplined, the logical structure ofsymbolic formulas is not represented at all.
– The logical structure of mathematics as embedded in natural language text isnot represented. Automated discovery of the semantics of natural languagetext is still too primitive and requires human oversight.

\begin{theorem}[Commutative Law of Addition]\label{theorem:6}
$$x+y=y+x.$$
\end {theorem}
\begin{proof}
Fix $y$, and $\mathfrak{M}$ be the set of all $x$ for which
the assertion holds.
\begin{enumerate}
\item We have $$y+1=y’,$$
and furthermore, by the construction in
the proof of Theorem~\ref{theorem:4}, $$1+y=y’,$$
so that $$1+y=y+1$$
and $1$ belongs to $\mathfrak{M}$.

\item If $x$ belongs to $\mathfrak{M}$, then $$x+y=y+x,$$
Therefore
$$(x+y)’=(y+x)’=y+x’.$$
By the construction in the proof of
Theorem~\ref{theorem:4}, we have $$x’+y=(x+y)’,$$
hence
$$x’+y=y+x’,$$
so that $x’$ belongs to $\mathfrak{M}$.
\end{enumerate}
The assertion therefore holds for all $x$.

Full formalization difficulties: choices
A Cml-text is structured differently from a fully formalized text proving the samefacts. Making the latter involves extensive knowledge and many choices:
• The choice of the underlying logical system.
• The choice of how concepts are implemented (equational reasoning,equivalences and classes, partial functions, induction, etc.).
• The choice of the formal foundation: a type theory (dependent?), a set theory(ZF? FM?), a category theory? etc.
• The choice of the proof checker: Automath, Isabelle, Coq, PVS, Mizar, HOL,...
An issue is that one must in general commit to one set of choices.

Full formalization difficulties: informality
Any informal reasoning in a Cml-text will cause various problems when fullyformalizing it:
• A single (big) step may need to expand into a (series of) syntactic proofexpressions. Very long expressions can replace a clear Cml-text.
• The entire Cml-text may need reformulation in a fully complete syntacticformalism where every detail is spelled out. New details may need to be woventhroughout the entire text. The text may need to be turned inside out.
• Reasoning may be obscured by proof tactics, whose meaning is often ad hocand implementation-dependent.
Regardless, ordinary mathematicians do not find the new text useful.

Mathlang’s Goal: Open borders between mathematics, logic
and computation
• Ordinary mathematicians avoid formal mathematical logic.
• Ordinary mathematicians avoid proof checking (via a computer).
• Ordinary mathematicians may use a computer for computation: there are over1 million people who use Mathematica (including linguists, engineers, etc.).
• Mathematicians may also use other computer forms like Maple, LaTeX, etc.
• But we are not interested in only libraries or computation or text editing.
• We want freedeom of movement between mathematics, logic and computation.
• At every stage, we must have the choice of the level of formalilty and thedepth of computation.

Aim for Mathlang? (Kamareddine and Wells 2001, 2002)
Can we formalise a mathematical text, avoiding as much as possible theambiguities of natural language, while still guaranteeing the following four goals?
1. The formalised text looks very much like the original mathematical text (andhence the content of the original mathematical text is respected).
2. The formalised text can be fully manipulated and searched in ways that respectits mathematical structure and meaning.
3. Steps can be made to do computation (via computer algebra systems) andproof checking (via proof checkers) on the formalised text.
4. This formalisation of text is not much harder for the ordinary mathematicianthan LATEX. Full formalization down to a foundation of mathematics is notrequired, although allowing and supporting this is one goal.
(No theorem prover’s language satisfies these goals.)

computations and proofs ✓• A Mathlang text captures the grammatical and reasoning aspects of
mathematical structure for further computer manipulation.
• A weak type system checks Mathlang documents at a grammatical level.
• A Mathlang text remains close to its Cml original, allowing confidence thatthe Cml has been captured correctly.
• We have been developing ways to weave natural language text into Mathlang.
• Mathlang aims to eventually support all encoding uses.
• The Cml view of a Mathlang text should match the mathematician’sintentions.
• The formal structure should be suitable for various automated uses.

What is CGa? (Maarek’s PhD thesis)
• CGa is a formal language derived from MV (N.G. de Bruijn 1987) and WTT(Kamareddine and Nederpelt 2004) which aims at expliciting the grammaticalrole played by the elements of a CML text.
• The structures and common concepts used in CML are captured by CGa with afinite set of grammatical/linguistic/syntactic categories: Term “
√2”, set “Q”,
noun “number”, adjective “even”, statement “a = b”, declaration “Let a bea number”, definition “An even number is..”, step “a is odd, hence a 6= 0”,context “Assume a is even”.
term set noun adjective statement declaration definition
step context .
• Generally, each syntactic category has a corresponding weak type.

• CGa’s type system derives typing judgments to check whether the reasoningparts of a document are coherently built.

Weak Type Theory
In Weak Type Theory (or Wtt) we have the following linguistic categories:
• On the atomic level: variables, constants and binders,
• On the phrase level: terms T , sets S, nouns N and adjectives A,
• On the sentence level: statements P and definitions D,
• On the discourse level: contexts ΓI , lines l and books B.

Properties of WTT
• Every variable is declared If B; Γ ⊢ Φ :: W then FV (Φ) ⊆ dvar(Γ).
• Correct subcontexts If B ⊢ Γ :: cont and Γ′ ⊆ Γ then B ⊢ Γ′ :: cont.
• Correct subbooks If ⊢ B :: book and B′ ⊆ B then ⊢ B′ :: book.
• Free constants are either declared in book or in contexts If B; Γ ⊢ Φ :: W,then FC(Φ) ⊆ prefcons(B) ∪ defcons(B).
• Types are unique If B; Γ ⊢ A :: W1 and B; Γ ⊢ A :: W2, then W1 ≡ W2.
• Weak type checking is decidable there is a decision procedure for the questionB; Γ ⊢ Φ :: W ?.
• Weak typability is computable there is a procedure deciding whether an answerexists for B; Γ ⊢ Φ :: ? and if so, delivering the answer.

Definition unfolding
• Let ⊢ B :: book and Γ ⊲ c(x1, . . . , xn) := Φ a line in B.
• We write B ⊢ c(P1, . . . , Pn)δ→ Φ[xi := Pi].
• Church-Rosser If B ⊢ Φδ→→ Φ1 and B ⊢ Φ
δ→→ Φ2 then there exists Φ3
such that B ⊢ Φ1δ→→ Φ3 andf B ⊢ Φ2

• Strong Normalisation Let ⊢ B :: book. For all subformulas Ψ occurring
in B, relationδ→ is strongly normalizing (i.e., definition unfolding inside a
well-typed book is a well-founded procedure).

How complete is the CGa?
• CGa is quite advanced but remains under development according to newtranslations of mathematical texts. Are the current CGa categories sufficient?
• The metatheory of WTT has been established in (Kamareddine and Nederepelt2004). That of CGa remains to be established. However, since CGa is quitesimilar to WTT, its metatheory might be similar to that of WTT.
• The type checker for CGa works well and gives some useful error messages.Error messages should be improved.

What is TSa? Lamar’s PhD thesis
• TSa builds the bridge between a CML text and its grammatical interpretationand adjoins to each CGa expression a string of words and/or symbols whichaims to act as its CML representation.
• TSa plays the role of a user interface
• TSa can flexibly represent natural language mathematics.
• The author wraps the natural language text with boxes representing thegrammatical categories (as we saw before).

How complete is TSa?
• TSa provides useful interface facilities but it is still under development.
• So far, only simple rewrite (souring) rules are used and they are not
comprehensive. E.g., unable to cope with things liken times
︷ ︸︸ ︷x = . . . = x.
• The TSa theory and metatheory need development.

What is DRa? Retel’s PhD thesis
• DRa Document Rhetorical structure aspect.
• Structural components of a document like chapter, section, subsection,etc.
• Mathematical components of a document like theorem, corollary, definition,proof, etc.
• Relations between above components.
• These enhance readability, and ease the navigation of a document.
• Also, these help to go into more formal versions of the document.

Lemma 1. For m,n ∈ N one has: m2 = 2n2 =⇒ m = n = 0.Define on N the predicate:
P (m) ⇐⇒ ∃n.m2 = 2n2 & m > 0.
Claim. P (m) =⇒ ∃m′ < m.P (m′). Indeed suppose m2 = 2n2 and m > 0. Itfollows that m2 is even, but then m must be even, as odds square to odds. Som = 2k and we have
2n2 = m2 = 4k2 =⇒ n2 = 2k2
Since m > 0, if follows that m2 > 0, n2 > 0 and n > 0. Therefore P (n).Moreover, m2 = n2 + n2 > n2, so m2 > n2 and hence m > n. So we can takem′ = n.
By the claim ∀m ∈ N.¬P (m), since there are no infinite descendingsequences of natural numbers.
Now suppose m2 = 2n2 with m 6= 0. Then m > 0 and hence P (m).Contradiction. Therefore m = 0. But then also n = 0.Corollary 1.

Suppose√
2 ∈ Q, i.e.√
2 = p/q with p ∈ Z, q ∈ Z − {0}. Then√
2 = m/n withm = |p|, n = |q| 6= 0. It follows that m2 = 2n2. But then n = 0 by the lemma.Contradiction shows that

The Graph of Textual Order: GoTO
Zengler’s thesis
• To be able to examine the proper structure of a DRa tree we introduce theconcept of textual order between two nodes in the tree.
• Using textual orders, we can transform the dependency graph into a GoTO bytransforming each edge of the DG.
• So far there are two reasons why the GoTO is produced:
1. Automatic Checking of the GoTO can reveal errors in the document (e.g.loops in the structure of the document).
2. The GoTO is used to automatically produce a proof skeleton for a prover(we use a variety: Isabelle, Mizar, Coq).
• We automatically transform a DG into GoTO and automatically check theGoTO for errors in the document:

1. Loops in the GoTO (error)2. Proof of an unproved node (error)3. More than one proof for a proved node (warning)4. Missing proof for a proved node (warning)
• To achieve this we define for each vertex v of the tree:
– ENVv is the environment of all mathematical statements that occur beforethe statements of v (from the root vertex).
– Introduced symbols’:INv := DFv ∪ DCv ∪ {s|s ∈ ST v ∧ s 6∈ ENVv} ∪ ⋃
c childOf v IN c– Used symbol: USEv := T v ∪ Sv ∪Nv ∪ Av ∪ ST v ∪ ⋃
c childOf v USEc
• Strong textual order ≺: B ≺ A := ∃x(x ∈ INB ∧ x ∈ USEA)
• Weak textual order �: A � B := INA ⊆ INB ∧ USEA ⊆ USEB
• Common textual order ↔: A ↔ B := ∃x(x ∈ USEA ∧ x ∈ USEB)

How complete is DRa?
• The dependency graph can be used to check whether the logical reasoning ofthe text is coherent and consistent (e.g., no loops in the reasoning).
• However, both the DRa language and its implementation need more experiencedriven tests on natural language texts.
• Also, the DRa aspect still needs a number of implementation improvements(the automation of the analysis of the text based on its DRa features).
• Extend TSa to also cover DRa (in addition to CGa).
• Extend DRa depending on further experience driven translations.
• Establish the soundness and completeness of DRa for mathematical texts.

• different requirements to the structureof the texte.g.
– no nested theorems/lemmas– only backward references– ...

Chapter 1 of Landau:
• 5 axioms which we annotate with the mathematical role “axiom”, and givethem the names“ax11” - “ax15”.
• 6 definitions which we annotate with the mathematical role “definition”, andgive them names “def11” - “def16”.
• 36 nodes with the mathematical role “theorem”, named “th11” - “th136” andwith proofs “pr11” - “pr136”.
• Some proofs are partitioned into an existential part and a uniqueness part.
• Other proofs consist of different cases which we annotate as unproved nodeswith the mathematical role “case”.

• The relations are annotated in a straightforward manner.
• Each proof justifies its corresponding theorem.
• Axiom 5 (“ax15”) is the axiom of induction. So every proof which usesinduction, uses also this axiom.
• Definition 1 (“def11”) is the definition of addition. Hence every node whichuses addition also uses this definition.
• Some theorems use other theorems via texts like: “By Theorem ...”.
• In total we have 36 justifies relations, 154 uses relations, 6 caseOf, 3existencePartOf and 3 uniquenessPartOf relations.
• The DG and GoTO are automatically generated.
• The GoTO is automatically checked and no errors result. So, we proceed tothe next stage: automatically generating the SGa.

Completing the proofs in Coq
• We defined the natural numbers as an inductive set - just as Landau does inhis book.
Inductive nats : Set :=
| I : nats
| succ : nats -> nats
• The encoding of theorem 2 of the first chapter in Coq is
theorem th12 x : neq (succ x) x .
• Landau proves this theorem with induction. He first shows, that 1′ 6= 1 andthen that with the assumption of x′ 6= x it also holds that (x′)′ 6= x′.
• We do our proof in the Landau style. We introduce the variable x and eliminateit, which yields two subgoals that we need to prove. These subgoals are exactlythe induction basis and the induction step.

The next step is to introduce n as natural number and to introduce theinduction hypothesis:
intros n H.
1 subgoal
x : nats
n : nats
H : neq (succ n) n
______________________________________(1/1)
neq (succ (succ n)) (succ n)
We see that this is exactly the second case of Landau’s proof. He proved thiscase with Theorem 1 - we do the same:
apply th11.

x : nats
n : nats

______________________________________(1/1)

And of course this is exactly the induction hypotheses which we already haveas an assumption and we can finish the proof:

Proof completed.
The complete theorem and its proof in Coq finally look like this:

Some points to consider
• We do not at all assume/prefer one type/logical theory instead of another.
• The formalisation of a language of mathematics should separate the questions:
– which type/logical theory is necessary for which part of mathematics– which language should mathematics be written in.
• Mathematicians don’t usually know or work with type/logical theories.
• Mathematicians usually do mathematics (manipulations, calculations, etc), butare not interested in general in reasoning about mathematics.
• The steps used for computerising books of mathematics written in English,as we are doing, can also be followed for books written in Arabic, French,German, or any other natural language.

• MathLang aims to support non-fully-formalized mathematics practiced by theordinary mathematician as well as work toward full formalization.
• MathLang aims to handle mathematics as expressed in natural language aswell as symbolic formulas.
• MathLang aims to do some amount of type checking even for non-fully-formalized mathematics. This corresponds roughly to grammatical conditions.
• MathLang aims for a formal representation of Cml texts that closelycorresponds to the Cml conceived by the ordinary mathematician.
• MathLang aims to support automated processing of mathematical knowledge.
• MathLang aims to be independent of any foundation of mathematics.
• MathLang allows anyone to be involved, whether a mathematician, a computerengineer, a computer scientist, a linguist, a logician, etc.
